Neither BC or Alberta provinces along with all interested parties against the NGP have a say in this matter, as interprovincial pipelines are Federal jurisdiction and final approval is up to the Federal Gov't caucus.

Historically, to overcome opposition to the TransCanada pipeline, prime minister Diefenbaker had to use an Act of Parliament, legislating approval; to sweep aside an environmental review and all First Nations issues, prime minister Trudeau used an Order in Council to approve the Yukon segment of the Alaska pipeline, citing it to be of strategic national economic importance. Although not yet built, those approvals are still valid to this day. Given the controversial nature of pipelines in the past, the NGT is proving to not be any different, and neither will be the approval and construction of this important piece of economic infrastructure.
